@apostrophecms/seo Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Unsanitized Google Analytics / GTM ID Injected into Script Tag

Published: Jun 12, 2026Updated: Jun 12, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVD
8.7CVSS
HIGH

ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Versions up to and including 1.4.2 of the `@apostrophecms/seo` package injects the Google Analytics Tracking ID (`seoGoogleTrackingId`) and Google Tag Manager ID (`seoGoogleTagManager`) directly into `<script>` tag bodies using JavaScript template literals without any sanitization or validation. Any user with editor-level access (the default role for content managers) can set these fields to a malicious value, resulting in stored XSS that executes on every page for every visitor of the site. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available.
